Charles R.

MOst Reverend Father in God , Our Right Trusty and Entirely Beloved Counsellor , We greet you well . The continuance of this extreme hard Weather , exciting Our gracious compassion towards the poorer sort of Our Subjects , so much the more as that We find in Our Cities of London and Westminster , and in the Parishes within the Bills of Mortality , that the very great number of such as by reason of the Weather cannot Work at their Trades and usual Employments , hath in a manner exhausted all Provisions and Charities that have been hitherto made for them ; We have therefore thought it necessary at this time heartily to recommend unto you , and We do hereby expresly will and require you to take care , that as soon as it is possible a Collection be made of the Alms and Benevolence of all charitable and well disposed People within your Diocess of Canterbury ; And that all the Moneys that shall be so Collected , being returned to your hands , be by you distributed ( taking along with you the Notices that Our Right Trusty and Welbeloved Counsellor the Bishop of London will be able to give you , he having already distributed great Sums of Money upon this Charity ) among such Poor as live within Our Cities of London and Westminster , and the Parishes within the Bills of Mortality ; And that among them a special regard be had ( as We have already directed the said Bishop of London ) to poor Seamen , Watermen , and indigent House-keepers . We doubt not but upon this occasion you will call earnestly upon the Clergy of your Diocess , to do their part herein , with a Diligence and Zeal suitable to the Charity of the Work , and the great Exigency of the Time . And so We bid you very heartily farewel .

Given at Our Court at Whitehall the second day of February 1683 , in the Six and Thirtieth Year of Our Reign . To the Most Reverend Father in God , Our Right Trusty and Right Entirely Beloved Counsellor , WILLIAM Lord Arch-bishop of CANTERBURY , &c. By His Majesties command L. JENKINS .

LONDON , Printed by the Assigns of John Bill Deceas'd : And by Henry Hills , and Thomas Newcomb , Printers to the Kings most Excellent Majesty . 1683.
